\directlua{
barracuda = require "barracuda"
}

Test 1: Code 39 symbol with default parameters:

\directlua{
local c39, err = barracuda:barcode()
                          :new_encoder("code39")
assert(not err, err)

local symbol, err = c39:from_string("ABC12QJ31")
assert(not err, err)

local canvas = barracuda:new_canvas()
symbol:draw(canvas)
local drv = barracuda:get_driver()
drv:ga_to_hbox(canvas, "mybox")
}\leavevmode\box\mybox

Test 2: get the reference of the previous encoder and typeset two
Code 39 symbols on the same canvas, one above to the other:

\directlua{
local c39, err = barracuda:barcode()
                          :enc_by_name("code39")
assert(c39, err)

local s1, err = c39:from_string("ZKPQJ31"); assert(s1, err)
local s2, err = c39:from_string("RTFG746", {text_vpos="top"}); assert(s2, err)

local canvas = barracuda:new_canvas()
s1:draw(canvas)

local h2 = s2:get_param("height")
s2:draw(canvas, 0.0, h2 + tex.sp "5pt")
local drv = barracuda:get_driver()
drv:ga_to_hbox(canvas, "mybox")
}\leavevmode\box\mybox

Test 3: with the same encoder print a symbol, change globally the height,
and reprint the same symbol again on the same canvas:

\directlua{
local c39, err = barracuda:barcode()
                          :enc_by_name("code39")
assert(c39, err)

local s1, err  = c39:from_string("ZKPQJ31"); assert(s1, err)

local canvas = barracuda:new_canvas()
s1:draw(canvas)

local h = s1:get_param("height")
c39:set_param("height", 2*h)
c39:set_param {text_vpos = "top"}

s1:draw(canvas, 0.0, h + tex.sp "5pt")

local drv = barracuda:get_driver()
drv:ga_to_hbox(canvas, "mybox")
}\leavevmode\box\mybox

Test 4: do the same in test 3 but change locally parameters as
height and text properties:

\directlua{
local c39, err = barracuda:barcode()
                          :enc_by_name("code39")
assert(c39, err)

local s1, err  = c39:from_string("0123456789"); assert(s1, err)

local canvas = barracuda:new_canvas()
s1:draw(canvas)
local h, err = s1:get_param("height"); assert(h, err)
local ok, err = s1:set_param{
    height = h/2,
    text_enabled = true,
    text_vpos = "bottom",
    text_hpos = "spaced",
    text_star = true,
    ay = 1,
}; assert(ok, err)
s1:draw(canvas, 0.0, - tex.sp "5pt")

local drv = barracuda:get_driver()
drv:ga_to_hbox(canvas, "mybox")
}\leavevmode\box\mybox

Test 5: create a new encoder with a large module value.

It's also activeted the debug\_bbox\_on option.

\directlua{
local barcode = barracuda:barcode()

local c39, err = barcode:new_encoder("code39:e2", {module = tex.sp "0.5mm", debug_bbox_on = true})
assert(c39, err)

local s1, err  = c39:from_string("02040608"); assert(s1, err)

local canvas = barracuda:new_canvas()
s1:draw(canvas)

local drv = barracuda:get_driver()
drv:ga_to_hbox(canvas, "mybox")
}\leavevmode\box\mybox
